Why has Malaysia failed to develop into a first world country like Singapore?

[micromachine]

This issue has always puzzled me. None of the traditional reasons people usually cite convinced me why Malaysia lags behind despite numerous natural advantages.

After years of deliberation, I’ve settled on a theory that makes the most sense to me. But first, let’s take a little detour and examine the popular reasons proffered—and why I don’t think they properly explain the lack of development.

Singapore is 1st world hardware but 3rd world software.

Sometimes not developing that rapidly is actually a blessing in disguise.

At least in Malaysia, historical cemeteries aren't desecrated in the name of 'development'.

I am very interested to find out what happens to the old Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, will become the Cantonment Circle Line MRT station in 2025. Let's see how well they are going to conserve the building.

If msia is chinese majority and m&d is minority and in large margin, msia confirm will become first world.

That's because they introduce a race based wealth sharing concept and " 5 year plans". Sounds familiar? It's also used in soviet union if you disregard the race part.
Tun Abdul Razak was a closet communist in my opinion.
The quota system stifles growth and malaysia most likely will not achieve its full potential if they continue with this policy.
Data suggest the so called NEP has not achieve its objective and to continue with it will only bring the entire nation down.

TS should reply the post, say Malaysia got feudal mindset, Singapore got eunuch disease. People shuffling papers all day keep emperor happy, behind his back highly vested in pop white paper, ceca and properties.

If there is chaos, it's because outside forces instigated and sponsored it.

God knows how many people Kuomintang executed and tortured in taiwan on grounds of being a suspected communist . There was even a movie where the man who like another's wife reported to the authorities that the husband is a communist spy and was executed. The guy eventually married the wife,

Movies besides being a source of entertainment is also a propaganda tool. I wouldn't believe it too much.

US also take control of other seas. China just follow and being a superpower and rich, they did what US did.
